There’s a reason why the NBA is considered the greatest basketball league in the world. It features the best players on the planet. One can bet if any one of the NBA stars go against regular folks, they’ll dominate quite easily. This was on full display as a certain Los Angeles Clippers star featured in an amateur summer league game. And the result was obvious. His off-season performance even earned praise from a former NBA Champion and from the son of Shaquille O’Neal.
The 22-year-old was picked 26th overall in the 2021 NBA draft. Recently, he was spotted bullying some folks in a charity match organized by the Danny Rumph Foundation.

Nah’Shon Bones Hyland currently plays for the Los Angeles Clippers and it seems like he can’t get enough of the game. While other NBA players take the off-season to rest, he was spotted competing in a basketball match. He played in the Rumph Classic charity match recently. And one might assume that Bizzy Bones would go easy on his opponents, especially when it’s for a charitable cause.
But that was not the case as he spewed venom from his mouth and with his moves. In a now-viral clip, Hyland brings the ball up the floor. As he crosses the halfcourt line, the opposing team’s coach catches his eye.
